OSTI ID:6272490
New home buyers in Iowa are looking for energy performance because of rising natural gas costs. The ideal home now requires thermal comfort at affordable prices as well as location and size criteria. The four key design elements are superinsulation, air tight construction, air-to-air exchangers, and passive solar orientation. The book includes design and construction details, cost estimates and comparisons, and a collection of available floor plans. The Iowa Energy Policy Council will provide information for both new homes and modifications of existing home plans. 25 figures, 2 tables.
